Upcoming Courses in Franchising
Irish Franchise Skillnet, which is supported and endorsed by the Irish Franchise Association, is proposing to create a Certificate course in Franchising through a Dublin university next year.
The course will be scheduled for a minimum of five days over several months. Depending on its success, this may be followed by a Diploma course run over a longer period. The Certificate will be funded through the Skillnet and the overall cost of training for participants will be reduced by up to 50%. The proposal has been approved in principle by the Steering Committee of the Irish Franchising Skillnet.
The course content for the Certificate is currently being prepared by experienced trainers with specialist expertise in the franchise business in Ireland and the UK. In order to deliver content to meet their requirements, Irish Franchising Skillnet have asked Franchisors for their suggestions about the type of training they would like to see included in this programme.
Network Manager of the Irish Franchising Skillnet is Siobhan O’Callaghan.
